Faithfull is just fantastic.

Corduroy is one of the few songs in the world that I find to be completely immune to overexposure. No matter how many times I've played it or seen it performed live over the last almost nineteen years, it never stops feeling fresh, engaging, and moving. It may sometimes slip behind Long Road in terms of what I think is the best Pearl Jam song, but I can't imagine it ever not being my favorite.

Also, general praise for this board...

For the second time in the past few weeks I've been waiting for the Manics to release a new single to radio, and neither time has the level of entertainment on the board I participate in even begun to come close to what went down here in the lead up to Mind Your Manners.

Let Me Sleep is a beautiful track. It's a nice, warm, cute, fuzzy creature akin to a Platypus (not theplatypus, but I'm sure there's someone out there that feels that way).

And sure a platypus isn't the headliner on a visit to the zoo, the animal world is greater for its existence.

Insignificance is my absolute favorite PJ song, and would certainly make my shortlist for favorite songs of all time. Every time I hear it, I'm stunned by how much they were able to do with that short amount of time.

Yeah, Insignificance is tops. It's everyone performing at peak ability simultaneously.

They changed Corduroy, adding a new bridge in the middle. Its pretty fantastic.

Yeah, I enjoyed the reworked bridge at Wrigley. I don't know if I prefer it to the original one, but it definitely didn't hurt the song, and I appreciated the attempt to breathe some different life into it for those who may be sick of it (including probably everyone in the band besides Ed at this point).

I love everything about Aye Davanita. It makes me feel good. Wish they'd come onstage to this again.

I was thinking I've been to one of those shows, but since my first was in '98, and I think Red Dot was the intro music that year, I must be just confusing a live show with a boot.

Pearl Jam has some really, really good b-sides/unreleased songs.

According to 5H from 9-16-98 through the end of the tour (9-23-98), Aye Davanita replaced Red Dot. So if it was one of those shows, your instincts are right.

Corduroy is the epitome of the band.

I love speed of sound. I like the full band version better.

What a great tune. Great melody.
